SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The uniform of a San Francisco police officer caught fire after a Molotov cocktail was hurled near as an anti-Bush protest Wednesday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.

A large crowd made its way from the Civic Center down Market Street, blocking traffic during the afternoon commute.

"My partner and I are standing here monitoring the crowd and all of a sudden I heard glass breaking, and the bottle apparently hit right there and gasoline spilled and the next thing I know my shoulder is on fire," police officer Gary Constantine told television station KRON.

Just when it looked like the protest was wrapping up in the evening, some protesters sat down in the middle of a busy intersection to block more traffic. The group refused police requests to disperse so they were arrested at the scene, according to police.

A large sign unfurled in front of City Hall read: "Bush step down. Take your whole program with you."

San Francisco should do the rest of the country a favor and secede. They can start their own socialist country and we can go to war with them. Should be a cakewalk since they are all against military action no matter what the circumstances.

"The group refused police requests to disperse so they were arrested at the scene, according to police."

Typical example of Liberal Narcissistic Martyrdom, or LNM, as I call it. These guys want to pretend that they're "righteous martyrs" who are being "persecuted" and that they are standing up for free speech, that they intentionally break the law so they'll be arrested. Makes them feel righteous and heroic.

There are not ten good men in San Fransisco anymore. Cordon it off, dig a fire trench around it, blow up the water pump plants and burn the whole damned Sodomite town and all it's inhabitants, down to the ground again.

"My partner and I are standing here monitoring the crowd and all of a sudden I heard glass breaking, and the bottle apparently hit right there and gasoline spilled and the next thing I know my shoulder is on fire," police officer Gary Constantine told television station KRON.

If I was a cop in San Francisco, I think I'd be careful to say "my colleague" or "a fellow officer" instead...

There are more than fifty in my office, alone. But thanks for showing us your Old Testament Retributionists membership card, and when you schedule your next Leviticus Society Book Burning and Barbecue over at your place, be sure to send us invitations. ;)
